Last March, London’s Sunday Times published a survey that indicted that the British capital is home to more than twice the number of millionaires and billionaires than any other city on earth. Combine that with the fact that London is also one of the world’s largest financial centers and is home to many top banks, asset management and insurance companies, so it’s no wonder that the city will play host to the inaugural London Yacht, Jet & Prestige Car Show, April 8-10.

In what is believed to be a first for London, many of the world’s most prestigious superyacht and luxury yacht builders, charter agents and top industry professionals will participate in this bespoke event that at two Thames-side venues, Old Billingsgate and St. Katharine Docks, in the heart of central London. The show venues are within walking distance of many of London’s exclusive districts such as Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington, Knightsbridge and Belgravia.

Visitors to this high profile event will get a wonderful glimpse of the summer yachting season as along with yacht builders and agents, naval and interior designers, private jet manufacturers and charter agents, luxury care manufacturers and a host of luxury goods and service companies will take part. The show will also include a design, fine art, watch and gift gallery, an exclusive VIP lounge, fashion shows, design and product showcases, Thames-side champagne bars and an exclusive in-water show at St. Katherine Docks.

The Central Basin at St. Katharine Docks will host a wonderful array of luxury yachts in the water, along with a superyacht tender and small craft show. St. Katherine Docks will also be home site for tenders to shuttle VIP guests to even bigger superyachts and megayachts moored on the River Thames.Founding out the event are the supercar and prestige car grid where some of the world’s most luxurious car brands will be on display. Private jet dealers and charter agents will also be on hand to ensure that you will also travel in style in the air.

The idea for the event, according to show organizers, came from the exhibiting companies as, for some time, it had been apparent that a large proportion of superyacht and luxury yacht owners reside in London. Show organizers have also said that they intended the show to be entertaining from the outset, thus inviting a wide range of luxury brands to participate. Prestigious finishing companies and Harrods will have displays alongside Aston Martin, a number of private jet companies and similar enterprises.

Standard day tickets are available for £24 online and £40 at the door. Three-day tickets cost £36 online and £60 at the door.
